The 2018 Ultimate guide overview of the Labor Certification process.

Show Notes:

00:03 The video breaks down the secrets of the Labor certification process, also known as Perm. What it is, how do we do it?

00:16 A labor certification is required because the government wants to make sure that U.S. workers are not being affected by the hiring over the foreign national.

1:10 It is important when creating the prevailing wage request to make sure that the job duties are done correctly because those are the ones that are going to be continuously be used throughout the case

2:10 What does actual recruitment mean? It means that the government would like to see that we actually publicize the job so American workers are aware of that and they have a fair chance to apply.

2:57 It’s important to make sure that all the ads are done at the same time. The reason is because you don’t want to stretch that process too long because the Labor Certification once approved is only good for 180 days. If those ads are out of the 180 day stretch, then I’m going to be useful anymore and you won’t be able to file your, your panel application or the green card subsequently.

3:41 Filing the ETA 9089 which is the Perm application itself. You file it electronically and there are some things that you have to do. You have to get an account with the Labor Department and all these things and an employer can do that.

4:37 Anything can trigger an audit. Maybe you already have a family member that is sponsoring you in that same company. If there’s an audit the only drawback is it’s just going to take longer

5:20 We recommend to keep a recruitment file with all the ads and all the documents in there in case in audit.
